Rebirth of Hong Kong's tycoons, shorting Eagle Sauce

It was the first time that Zhou Zhuolin saw her friend look so panicked.

"Sanshi, this is not unsolvable."

"Why?"

Zhou Zhuolin analyzed:

"The email project, forum, free personal homepage service launched by our Net Art... which one is not a profitable project? Our advertising revenue today is estimated to exceed 4 million.

Compared with other Internet companies, this kind of money-making is rare. Do you think it is easier for us to ask Wang Lei for financing than Qianlang?"

Ding Sanshi thought, yes, capital investment is often in the same track. They make more money than Qianlang and have more investment potential.

He said excitedly:

"Qianlang can ask for 20 million US dollars in financing. It is not too much for us and Wang Lei to ask for 25 million US dollars."

"Of course it is not too much."

"After completing this financing, we will also start to build a virtual community."

Thinking of this, he asked a friend to get Wang Lei's private phone number.

Until the call was connected, Ding Sanshi was very nervous and rehearsed many words in his mind many times in advance.

But not long after he received the call, Ding Sanshi's face darkened.

"What do you mean?"

"MD, it wasn't Wang Lei who answered the call. His assistant said that Wang Lei had no intention of investing in Wangyi at this time."

"Why?"

Zhou Zhuolin was also full of question marks. Wangyi was obviously established earlier than Qianlang, with the highest advertising revenue and the most investment potential, but it was rejected?

Ding Sanshi took a long time to recover from his frustration. He was not discouraged by this small blow.

"Wang Lei didn't invest in Wangyi because he didn't have vision. We will continue to launch our virtual community services and website rankings as planned. I, Ding Sanshi, will take the position of the Internet big brother!"

Zhou Zhuolin was happy for Ding Sanshi's cheering up. This was the Ding Sanshi he knew.

On the other hand, Wang Lei's assistant was also wondering.

There are only a few Internet companies in Longguo that are worth investing in. Why did Wang Lei, who has always been willing to donate generously to Internet companies, reject Wangyi alone?

He bravely asked his boss:

"Boss, should we call the relevant departments and ask them to close down Wangyi?"

Wang Lei's eyes widened, and he couldn't help shouting in his heart, "Wow, this guy thought of closing down Wangyi."

The assistant felt pressured and asked hurriedly:

"Did I misunderstand something?"

"Not really, not really, Wangyi is good, Ding Sanshi is also good, I also said the reason for not investing, I really think the time is not right."

Speaking of which, Wangyi is also unlucky. They are eager to go public, and they found an unreliable chief executive, and each financing is one step slower than the previous wave.

The luck is also a little worse than the previous wave. When it went public in June 2000, it just hit the US stock market Internet bubble.

As soon as it went public, the stock price began to fall all the way, from the initial stock price of $15.5 to $0.48 per share!

A stock price below one dollar is a very dangerous number. If it is below $1 for a long time, it will be delisted by Nasdaq.

At the same time, the market value of Wangyi also fell from 500 million US dollars to less than 20 million US dollars.

Judging from the market value of 20 million US dollars, Wang Lei would not make much money if he invested at this time, and would also cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

How much Ding Sanshi hates me now, and how grateful he will be to me when I make a move.

Just when Wang Lei was enjoying his two-person world with Zhao Ling.

Robert from the United States brought Wang Lei some not-so-good news:

"Boss, Lindgren and Bobby encountered some troubles in the acquisition of the United States."

"Trouble?"

With the size of Cayman Capital, the word trouble should not appear in Robert's dictionary at all.

Mergers and acquisitions are a very important part of their listing plan.

Wang Lei couldn't help but ask a few more questions:

"What's going on?"

Robert carefully organized his words before saying:

"Moon Oil Company thinks our offer is a little lower than their psychological expectations."

The negotiations between Lindgren and the shareholders of Moon Oil Company have been going on for two months. Lindgren, who originally planned to make a quick decision, has lost his patience.

"Can't even $20 billion satisfy their appetite?"

"Yes, they think the low oil price is only temporary. They would rather borrow money to tide over the difficulties than sell the oil company at a low price."

"Lindgren changed his strategy and contacted other backup targets, but the results were..."

The refineries and sellers couldn't hold on first. The low oil price caused the market to be severely involuted. Some companies in the downstream of the industrial chain declared bankruptcy, and the big companies were not having a good time either.Bobby took the opportunity to acquire a large number of refineries and gas stations.

"That means there is nothing to talk about."

Robert fell into silence. Perhaps the previous acquisitions were too smooth. When they really encountered a tough bone, everyone from Wang Lei to Lindgren was a little jumpy.

Wang Lei knew that after entering the 21st century, the price of oil would soar again with the economic recovery of Dongzhou.

These oil companies must not be allowed to persist until after 2000.

He thought for a while and said:

"Tomorrow I will talk to Mr. Li, the richest man. As long as we work together with General Motors to release good news about new energy vehicles, you will take the lead in lowering oil prices..."

Robert felt that the boss's strategy was good. With Wang Lei's reputation in Silicon Valley and Wall Street, once the wind was released to vigorously develop new energy vehicles, it would undoubtedly be a fatal blow to these stubborn oil shareholders.
